Representatives of South Ossetia took part in the international forum "Comprehension of the Origin of Cultures of Friendly Nations as an Important Factor of Cooperation between the CIS Countries and the Republics of the Caucasus", which was being held from May18 - 20 in Sochi. The Forum was organized by the International Humanitarian Public Fund "Knowledge" and missions of the Russian Cooperation in South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
As IA "Res" has been reported by the Russian Cooperation representative in South Ossetia, Mikhail Stepanov on his arrival in Tskhinval, the South Ossetian delegation included teachers of the Russian language and literature of the educational institutions and the South-Ossetian State University, as well as representatives of the media of the Republic.

NATO has once again reaffirmed its unswerving stance on the status of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Washington and Brussels are still seeing these states, recognized by Russia, as a part of Georgia, and it is unlikely that such declarations have only the character of public rhetoric.

This is already affecting and will further affect the functioning of international and European formats, within the frames of which are discussed the issues of security and stability inTranscaucasia.
